Mississippi River in a MM Mark Twain. About as good as it gets on a beautiful spring day. :D

I have smoked MR ever since I purchased my first tin over a year ago. It's the number one tobacco in my current rotation. Out of tribute to the Hannibal Bard himself I smoke it in a Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twain cob... a great smoke in a fine little pipe. :study:

H&H Black House in my trusty MM Missou cob! :D

SPC's Plum Pudding in a Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twain cob. Just received this blend last night and it's pretty good.

I'm ordering a few ounces today! :P

Do any of you older pipers remember London Dock OTC blend?  Is there a modern match since it's been off the market for some time?  I had about a 25 year hiatus before I picked up my pipe again a couple years back and several of my old favorites seem to have disappeared.  :cry:

Escudo in a MM Missou with a cup of strong Mediterranean black tea with a touch of honey and orange blossom water.

H&H Cerberus in a well-smoked MM Legend cob. :D

Mississippi Mud in my vintage cane stemmed cob.  It's raining like the dickens but I'm really enjoying this smoke. :) (wish I had some of that Rainy Day to try out today) :face:

Mississippi Mud in a vintage MM Churchwarden as a strong cold front moves in. :shock:

Peterson Summertime 2012 in a Peterson Kildare.

Peterson's Perfect Plug in a small Turkish Calabash meer.  I've tried slicing this plug but I don't seem to have anything sharp enough so I peeled off a couple leaves, cut 'em into little squares and stuffed 'em in the pipe.  This is some powerful leaf and I don't think I would want to smoke it...

(I wonder at times if JimInks sleeps with a pipe in his mouth?) Mississippi Mud in my little sultan-head Turkish Meer with a cup of Newman's Reserve coffee while reading Craig Johnson's "Hell is Empty" rocking on my back porch enjoying a perfectly beautiful day in Austin Texas (totally AVOIDING...

Mississippi River in a MM Legend.

Sometimes I'm just lazy and pick the pipe that's easiest to clean. ;) Tobacco selection is always the first choice (maybe because I have more blends in my rotation than pipes :).
